Currently (2019): I saw this on Facebook and thought I would give it a try. “No Googling allowed. Do this using your own brain power. Every answer must start with the first letter of your middle name.”

WEAR – Girdle

DRINK – Gin

PLACE – Greenwich

RESTAURANT – Giovanni’s

ANIMAL- Goat

GIRL’S NAME- Geneva

BOY’S NAME – Gavin

WORD TO DESCRIBE SOMEONE – Grateful

SOMETHING IN YOUR HOME – Guido

REASON TO Be late – Gunshot

That was actually pretty easy except for the last one. I am never late, so it was hard for me to think of a response.

From The Past: November 6, 2003

Yesterday Kevin got to come home half a day early because of a storm which shut off the power at his place of employment. Since the kids were still in school, we opted to watch the movie 8 Mile with Eminem. Just as expected, the language was bad and there were some fist fights; if there hadn’t been, it wouldn’t have been Eminem, but I am so glad that the kids weren’t at home. I wouldn’t want them to hear all that! It was an okay movie, but not one that I would care to see again. In my opinion, it wasn’t much of a story.

I felt the same way when I watched The Good Girl starring Jennifer Aniston a few weeks ago. I loved watching Jennifer Aniston but, I kept waiting for there to be more substance or a deeper meaning and it just wasn’t there. Aniston plays a store clerk who has an affair with a much younger employee. This employee thinks that he came right out of the book Catcher in the Rye.

Maybe that’s why I didn’t really like it; because references were made about that book throughout the movie, and that book was really dreadful. I read it about a year ago thinking since it was a classic, it HAD to be good. Nope! It was really bad. Like Linus waiting for The Great Pumpkin; nothing ever happened! I guess at least I can say that I’ve read it.

I am currently reading Anne Rice’s: Blood Canticle. I’ll let you know about that one just as soon as I’m finished with it.
